Questions d'entretiens - Consultant

Considering that Deloitte is a big 4 consulting firm, a question such as WHAT IS YOUR AGE??? is totally ridiculous and unexpected and they could potentially get sued for it!!!! After having taking a course in HR I know that no employer is allowed to ask you questions such as your age??? I am not concerned about the fact that I did not get an offer but questions such as WHAT IS YOUR AGE??? etc are really prohibited!!!!

Look at the question: "What is your age?" That's different from "How old are you?" Answer accordingly.

Regardless of how you frame the question, its prohibited to ask that in an interview if it relates to age, thats the law. Ask any lawyer or HR person and they will confirm it for you. I have appeared for interviews for other Consulting firms and work for an equally reputed one currently after facing 4 rounds of interviews. In this case the interviewer asked the wrong question not the firm.

Honestly the best part of this question was seeing how gender bias works in assessing the competence of different candidates. A woman and a man could give very similar answers and the woman could have more education, but the man would be viewed as more competent. Just very interesting.

What was the dress code?

This sounds like such an awful question to ask of someone in an interview. I would cringe if asked this.

I gave them my hourly rate.

Each job has his budget with specific difficulty, different activities and duty. Into the last couple of projects my salary rate was totally different. Also the condition and facilities to work was different and the different budget of project. Because we have a deadline to accept a job that can not fall below a minimum acceptable because of personal or family expenses. In my case probably keep the polygon upper limit of claims, but experienced and full devotion want to meet all the tasks I deserve the job description.

You place a quarter right in the center of the table. After that, whenever I place a quarter on the table, mimic my placement on the opposite side of the table. If I have a place to place a quarter, so will you. I will run out of places to put a quarter before you do.

if the table can only hold two quarters, you lose.

nevermind, top answer is right.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Any tips about the video interview and what the questions were based on?

One was about what you are passionate about, one asks what about consulting you find interesting, the last one I can't remember. Make sure you don't look at yourself, there is an option to block out the video of yourself. Look into the camera and speak slowly and clearly following the STAR method if possible. Don't ramble on even if you have time left, my answers were relatively to the point.

Thank you very much for your feedback, really appreciate! I will definitely apply everything that you said! Take care.

Personal pride, don't want to fail, financial benefits, knowing you did something that will help others.

was the math and geography test multiple choice? did you have answers to choose from?

I used a standard framework to breakdown the case successfully.

The corporate environment should learn to be forgiving. You ding someone because a phone beeped? Come on. This is why we are where we are today with the Coronavirus/Covid-19 i.e. suffering because humanity is very unforgiving!
